ned small Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 No he doesn't miss his lost sheep. Like I said before he taught them how and his pizza is just fine now,actually it's the best here and he delivers. So my friend and his wife and I being from Edmonton are Oilers fans too and they invited me down for the game last night and a Perry's Pizza done the way our famous Tony's in Edmonton does it which is annually voted the best pizza joint in Edmonton and once was also in the top 6 in the world in another contest. Super pizza and the Oilers won the game too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 So glad to hear that Perry is doing great and all the new pizza places that have opened have not affected his business one little bit. He deserves everything that is coming to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Habacht Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 It would seem that most complaints come from a few folks that believed his political beliefs did not match theirs...so they attacked his food product. We eat there every few weeks and have never been unhappy. Fred Habacht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 Actually, I have seen several posts that were very specific about his product and detailed how it and his service had gone down hill. It has been a while since he has been mentioned so perhaps he is back on track. I enjoyed his pizza the few times I had it there. However, since several quality places opened up much closer to me I have no need to drive out to his location. There is enough pizza business to go around for places offering excellent quality and service. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, for one, don't give a dang about his politics or anyone else's. It's entirely about the food. IMO, his pizza went downhill from what he was serving me in the beginning. Naturally, that's a very subjective opinion. Other pizzerias have apparently been offering products that some people like better, and I'm betting their taste buds aren't influenced by politics, either. Personally, I'd prefer not to know the political leanings of the restaurateurs I patronize. If I do know, it's because they don't have the good sense to be silent on that hot button subject in a diverse community. The old rule; no religion or politics at the dinner table applies here.

His pizza has been consistently the same since he opened even when he trained others to make it. Perhaps something has happened to your tastebuds downhillwise.

AngusMactavish Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 The only time I do not eat my pizza at Perry's is when I am too lazy to drive there or when others rave about the "new place". I have tried many and none comes close to his. Pizza is like religion and BBQ, each has their own, but if you want a pizza as close to what is served in the middle of the US, Perry's is it. He also has daily specials that are a real treat, like Kung Pao chicken on Wednesdays. Much better than the Asian places serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then he got it right with the help of his employee who had experience in the Pizza business, Perry had none. Shortly after he moved to his present location the quality decline commenced. The first thing I noticed was lower grade sausage and Pepperoni. Then came the inconsistant baking. I learned which cooks did it right and went there only on those nights but tired of the low quality ingredients and sought other local purveyors.

It is all the same suspects, “Ned.” Only sometimes the names are changed to protect.... Well, you know. I hope you and “your friend “ and, uh, your “friend’s” wife continue to enjoy the consistently fine Perry’s pizza. He really does deserve you.

El Saltos Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 We had a pizza from Perry's last evening. It was not up to their former standard. Never again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ComputerGuy Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 When Perry started here, he had no one. He did it all himself. He told us that first week that he had a restaurant in PV or somewhere. He was trying to make a name for himself with clam chowder and fish and chips. Later, he had the oven built, because he saw a future in doing the pizza right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerbit Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Never saw the reason for the raves on his pizza. Had it once at the old Gdlpe Vic location and that was enough. But that's just me. I get my pizza fix when I'm NOB and can get one I like. Same for burgers, BBQ, pastrami and Chinese food. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's one seriously expensive way to get what you like. Those of us who expect to live out our lives in Mexico without frequent U.S. "fixes" adjust our habits and tastes to what is available right here. There's plenty of good food . I just had a delicious sirloin burger at a local restaurant for lunch. Pizza taste is very individual, but mine is based on whether it has quality ingredients. When a pizza place lowers that element, it's over for me. Chinese food? What I used to get in San Francisco? Nah. If I get an occasional need for a pot sticker fix, Chopsticks will do the job. Emma's Deli has a quite respectable pastrami sandwich. If I were too often longing for what I left behind, I'd pack up and go back, but after over a dozen years here and only one fast trip NOB for a funeral, that won't happen. YMMV.

Big Bird Posted November 13, 2017 Report Share Posted November 13, 2017 Never understood what all the fuss was about on Pizza. To me the choices are simple. Go to Perry’s and order your favorite pizza. Then, a few days later, go to M & J and order the same pizza. Compare the taste, prices, service, etc. and make your decision. I once heard a great pizza chef say, there is no good or bad Pizza. Just your preference. What I love, you may hate. Different people like, thin crust, thick crust, deep dish, New York style, etc only you can decide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or we may have more than one we return to. I will disagree that there is no bad pizza. Cheap ingredients carelessly prepared and over or under baked make for a bad pizza.

Why, this way of thinking could change my whole life. Holy cow. Imagine: comparing the same item at different places! I am going to take this one step further, with your permission, and apply the same logic next time I buy a fridge or a car or a computer. Oh, my, I can hardly wait.

AngusMactavish Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Ran into Perry at Ajijic's plaza today and asked about the loss of his cooks. He said that his new chef is experienced and works cheaper that the old one(s) due to less time on the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xena Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 “He said that his new chef is experienced and works cheaper that the old one(s) due to less time on the job.” Now, there’s a ringing endorsement from the owner for the new cook: he has less experience so he works cheaper. This explains so much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
